Yeah, I was waiting for that one too. My fave. Honestly, I HATED the Rhodes for a long time until I was lucky enough to be on a 3-week lockout session at a studio with a round-top Suitcase. Found myself diddling with Still Crazy. “Ahh. I get it now”, said I. ;^)
#1 Steely Dan - up town baby, up town! You are so spot on and on point! Steely Dan is timeless, folks will still be listening to them 50,000000000000 trillion years from now.
Yes agreed! Lotta memories listening to that song in around 1978. Was a senior in high school. Mystifying tune and melancholy lyrics. Fender Rhodes in the background
Is it a Rhodes intro or a thunder and rain intro with some Rhodes? Maybe not a piece of music piano players enjoy. Maybe it was just forgotten but I felt it was missing but not sure where it fits.
Dancing in the Moonlight - King Harvest The university I used to work at had a summer rock band program and I got to hear and see 5 teenagers sing and play this song. Made my heart leap for joy!
Only Stevie Wonder would put the whole tone scale into a pop song. What an absolute genius. One song I would have included is "Roads" by Portishead. That whole album Dummy is loaded with Rhodes piano, but "Roads" is one where I clearly remember the Rhodes piano by itself in the intro. I wonder if they named it that as a play on words. The word "roads" is never used in the song.
After hearing the preceding track "It's a Fire" featuring the Hammond organ, I started wondering if this track also used a classic synth. Then the name hit me.
"Drive west on sunset to the sea Turn that jungle music down Just until we're out of town…" Babylon Sisters is one of the coolest tracks ever! (Purdie-Shuffle!)
To me the Rhodes sound is a reminder of a beautiful era that’s never gonna come back. Rhodes strings guitars bass and glorious lazy golden sunshine and beauty all around
It's one, but that intro and song feature a phase-shifter, which gives the Rhodes a unique sound that isn't really representative of the classic Rhodes sound.
Great catch! Not the intro, but Bob Mayo’s keys for Peter Frampton bring me to tears - Baby I Love Your Way! It was Deodato that infected me with the need to own one though. Finally made it happen with a ‘79 suitcase ten years after I heard his Prelude album.
Great list and playing! I was waiting, as the countdown went on and without really believing it, for George Duke's superb intro to "Eat That Question" in Frank Zappa's The Grand Wazoo. For me, an excellent example of the "wild" side of Rhodes, too often cited for its round and pleasant qualities. I like the "barking" side of this great instrument (I still have my Mark II Stage 73 from 1980). And Duke was a real master of that instrument, on par, for me, with Hancock and Corea.
When I heard you say Babylon Sisters a tear came to my eye, the way you spoke about the song fully encompasses how I feel about it as well and you're rendition was excellent
Great list! For me, the intro to 'the ghetto', live version by Donny Hathaway, is one of the best fender rhodes performances i have ever heard. I will also include Herbie hancock's ' i thought it was you'.
Great list! Steely Dan is SOOOOOOO underrated! Babylon Sister is fierce! I have loved that song since high school. The Doobies, Al, Stevie... You are on point. Thank you!
The late great Richard Tee played on Just the Two of Us by Grover Washington. I'm not a keyboard player but the Rhodes is one of my favorite keyboard sounds. The theme for Taxi the TV show also comes into mind but the intro is rather low key but the sound of the soloing by Bob James is masterful. I love that tune.
Absolutely right, mind blowing intro, exciting pace & rhythm and original text. His albums ‘Gaucho’ and ‘The Nightfly’ are two timeless musical masterpieces that I still enjoy playing as if I hear them for the first time (and yes…on a record!) being born in ‘62.😉
Most pick Aja and claim Gaucho is over-produced and sterile but it rocked my world in 1980 and I'm sticking with it as my favorite. Your take on the intro is awesome.
That's a touch choice, but I'd go with Gaucho as well. I love the over-perfection of the record. I mean, they did the fadeout to Babylon Sisters over 200 times to get it "just right".
Pierre, I've not read most of the comments but anything by Richard Tee. He was brilliant! Any keyboard he played was wonderful. Rhodes, Hammond B3, piano. Whatever. He really brought the phase shifter Rhodes to light and you could hear much of it on Paul Simon. Sadly he's passed away but will never be forgotten. He played a lot with Tom Scott, my all time favourite sax player and composer. I'm sure you are familiar with Tom. I would so love to have a Rhodes. Some day. Phase shifter a must! Good work on this vid. Enjoyed.
You have chosen all top-level musicians... Congratulations... Also because those who use the Rhodes always have a lot of class in their music..... Thanks
All great intros that you chose! When I want the full Rhodes experience extending beyond the intro and all the way through, I want Eumir Deodato and his 1973 Deodato 2 and 1974 Whirlwinds albums!!
I absolutely adore Gaucho. If I had to choose one Steely Dan album it'd probably be Royal Scam, because of closing effect of the absolutely stunning title track, but the title track of Gaucho breaks my heart every time.
That title track makes me laugh. Consider the setting and the characters, especially when he says "No, he can't sleep on the floor. What do you think I'm yelling for?" Essentially, just get rid of this queer, even though he is queer himself!
I'm in with you on Babylon Sister. I still remember sitting in my car in 81, I was 17 and just breezed away. I was not thinking about the Rhodes then but the smooth vibe. As you tube came along, it's one of my faves
I love this list!! I visited the Vintage Synth Museum in LA a couple of weeks ago and got to spend a little time with the Rhodes that was there. Truly one of the greatest sounds. ❤
Fabulous top ten! Nice playing! I agree there are countless great Rhodes songs to choose from. Stevie Wonder had many. "Superwoman", "Living For The City" He also played on "Lovin' You" by Minnie Riperton. The entire album actually. I love a lot of songs with Dyno'd Rhodes pianos, like "Never Gonna Let You Go" by Sergio Mendes which many mistakenly believe is a DX7 but was actually released before the DX7 came out.
How about a video on the "Famous E Rhodes"? You gave us a little bit of info here, but that leaves several questions. What was it that made it so distinctive? Was the recording method part of its legendary sound? How about more of the legend itself? What were the top songs recorded on it and by whom? Where is it now? Is there an instrument or plug-in available that faithfully reproduces it" Answering these questions and others that you can think of that I should have asked would surely rate a separate video, maybe more than one.
You’re absolutely spot on with this one, brother. The Steely Dan track is so amazing. All tracks on this list are simply timeless! Gotta add Jamiroquai’s “Blow My Mind” - that is one of my all time fave Rhodes intros! Well done.🙌🏾
Awesome job Pierre! Loved your selections. Would like to add honorable mention to Supertramp's Bloody Well Right. Talk about an extended intro. Always loved the juxtaposition of the Rhodes to the Fender Strat. Thanks man!
@@DavideCapponi Thanks for the clarification. I was probably just going by memories of a band I was in that played that song and the keyboardist/saxophonist did it on a Rhodes and I couldn't tell the difference. I'll pay more attention in the future, when it comes to choosing the right instrument for my electric piano tracks.
Good list. Nice antique. I'm a an Old Boomer pro keyboardist. My first gigging board was a Rhodes 88 Suitcase. Weighed a ton...constantly needed tweaking and repair...and didn't have the bite that I was hearing from Rhodes on albums, which I found out were almost all modified post-factory. So happy when I sold that thing. Iconic sound...lousy instrument. Thank goodness for synths!
Have to agree with you: “Babylon Sisters” could not be played on anything but a Rhodes. Such a cool hook, like so many of their tracks. Steely Dan had a way of being extremely clever without becoming arty or precious. It was still accessible. So hard to do, especially in the pop world!! (Somebody is going to flame me for calling Steely Dan pop-but I’m using it in the “popular” definition. Relax. 😁) Cheers, er’body!
I listened to Babylon Sisters on earphones going into work one day and I slipped into some kind of trance. It was a very pleasant experience, as if I was meditating and suddenly found myself in some kind of Nirvana...!
I never realized all these songs had this sound in common. I absolutely love the sound. Great to hear them played so beautifully, side by side. Great stuff!
I have always loved the sound in the song Walking in Rhythm by The Blackbyrds also Barbra Streisands What Kind of Fool and Jefferson Starships With Your Love.
Great video! So many great artists that have played a Rhodes, some that are among my favorites are Eumir Deodato, Bob James, and even Antonio Carlos Jobim!

My No.1 Rhodes intro is I'm Not in Love from 10cc, since I first heard it in the 70s. The song is from another world.
The Rhodes is hands down one of the most beautiful sounding instruments ever created.
Agree
The warm and cozy sound of it feels like a lullaby🌌
Yes indeed "Babylon Sisters" intro is transcendentally fantastic
Wow, love that one! Great album. There are so many great Rhodes songs, given how ubiquitous this instrument was and still is.
YES!!
Yes, Riders on the storm, THE DOORS. The master of the Fender Rodes !!!!!!
Absolutely! 1970!!
i was really hoping this was gonna make the list
My favorite Rhodes intro by far.
Thank you. The list is not complete without this song. I was actually expecting this to be at the top of the list.
I always think of Still Crazy After All These Years when I think of a Rhodes intro.
OMG! Yes!
Yes, I play that one, it's definitely a winner.
Came here to say the same. One of the first things I think of with the Rhodes is Richard Tee.
I thought the same😮
Yeah, I was waiting for that one too. My fave. Honestly, I HATED the Rhodes for a long time until I was lucky enough to be on a 3-week lockout session at a studio with a round-top Suitcase. Found myself diddling with Still Crazy. “Ahh. I get it now”, said I. ;^)
The Love I Lost by Harold Melvin and The Bluenotes is a wonderful introduction.
Babylon Sisters - outstanding!
#1 Steely Dan - up town baby, up town! You are so spot on and on point! Steely Dan is timeless, folks will still be listening to them 50,000000000000 trillion years from now.
Well, all life in the universe will have ceased to exist since all matter will have cooled to 0 kelvin by then... but we can hope! 😁
Who’s here from the 97th universe after this?
Couldn't agree more
@@BassByTheBay No reason to be a Debbie Downer - onward fearless ones, onward!
@@psmith3001 I said we can hope, and holding onto hope for 50 trillion-trillion years is _very_ optimistic 😄.
10cc's "I'm Not In Love" is my favorite.
Yes agreed! Lotta memories listening to that song in around 1978. Was a senior in high school. Mystifying tune and melancholy lyrics. Fender Rhodes in the background
Oh! Yeah!!!!! I thought of Bloody Well Right by Supertramp, and James by Billy Joel - but I'm Not In Love has to be top 10 for sure!
Are Supertramp using Rhodes? Or Wurlitzer?
@@mhpakroes Oooo! Good point. Not sure. I thought it was a Rhodes but I could easily be wrong.
@@mhpakroes I think "Bloody Well Right" is a Wurlitzer.
I've always been a sucker for the sound of a Rhodes. And the Steely Dan Babylon Sisters intro at Number One is the icing on the cake.Thanks for this.
One of my favorites is These Eyes by the Guess Who. Simple riff but it holds the song together so beautifully.
As a 60 year old music aficionado, I truly think you nailed it!! Gave me goosebumps hearing that Steely Dan song!!🎶
Ray Charles playing Shake A Tail Feather in Blues Brothers always comes to mind first whenever a Rhodes is mentioned.
Wurlitzer electric piano. But the best!
@@ubobl2277 Bloody Well Right is the GOAT Wurli intro for me
"uh, uh... I don't think there's anything wrong with the action on this piano"
💯 number 1 for me every time
@@stevekeiretsu I'll even throw in the black keys for free
Wasn't Riders on The Storm played on a Rhodes? It surprises me that no one is mentioning that one.
It was actually was waiting for the whole time…
But he did play “Butterfly” by Herbie Hancock and you may notice a very close similarity to “Light My Fire”!
Ditto. Iconic Rhodes.
Is it a Rhodes intro or a thunder and rain intro with some Rhodes? Maybe not a piece of music piano players enjoy. Maybe it was just forgotten but I felt it was missing but not sure where it fits.
yes it was, in fact on a Rhodes and Rhodes Bass keyboard for the bass line
Totally down with Babylon Sisters at #1. One of my very favorite songs by one of my very favorite bands!
The 73 has an ICONIC sound. Luv it!!
4AM by Herbie with jacos bass playing is such a unique sound combined with the rhodes piano I love it so much
Dancing in the Moonlight - King Harvest The university I used to work at had a summer rock band program and I got to hear and see 5 teenagers sing and play this song. Made my heart leap for joy!
That is a Wurlitzer, not a Rhodes.
Im embarrassed to find this out because that song made me impulse buy a mini Rhodes 😂😂 oh well. No Ragrets.
I’m pretty sure that’s a Hornet Pianet
@@nickmorgan19457 I read Hornet Planet.
@@nickmorgan19457 That's Hohner, not Hornet.

God yes! Portishead are fantastic and this is a great track
After hearing the preceding track "It's a Fire" featuring the Hammond organ, I started wondering if this track also used a classic synth. Then the name hit me.
Actualy, Nirvana did that too.
"Drive west on sunset to the sea
Turn that jungle music down
Just until we're out of town…"
Babylon Sisters is one of the coolest tracks ever!

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
A compliment from professor Beato means this channel is gonna blow up!
He would know a great list when he hears one.
Yes PERFECT!
What makes this list great
My favourite is definitely the intro to Sheep by Pink Floyd. I just love Rick Wright's playing :D
My pick too! Brilliant playing.
Agreed!
Same one I was thinking to mention as well.
Just checking someone mentioned this!
My favorite too
To me the Rhodes sound is a reminder of a beautiful era that’s never gonna come back. Rhodes strings guitars bass and glorious lazy golden sunshine and beauty all around
"Sheep" on ANIMALS by Pink Floyd.. Awesome Rhodes intro.❤
Love the magic of a Rhodes. Enjoy them all, especially number one. 😊
A massive yes from me for a minute by minute lesson please Pierre.
Yes!!!👍
‘Just the way you are’ is definitely the best song that showcases the Rhodes beautiful sound.
NO
Subjective
It's one, but that intro and song feature a phase-shifter, which gives the Rhodes a unique sound that isn't really representative of the classic Rhodes sound.
❤ your choices. A favorite of mine is Max Middleton’s intro on Jeff Beck’s Diamond Dust.
Great catch!
Not the intro, but Bob Mayo’s keys for Peter Frampton bring me to tears - Baby I Love Your Way!
It was Deodato that infected me with the need to own one though. Finally made it happen with a ‘79 suitcase ten years after I heard his Prelude album.

I second that. Didn't think it would be on the list here, but it is an extraordinary Rhodes intro, jazzy and soulful and just out there.
When I heard you say Babylon Sisters a tear came to my eye, the way you spoke about the song fully encompasses how I feel about it as well and you're rendition was excellent
Sheep from Pink Floyd is another great one. Good list!
Great example.
Sort of playing the Rhodes was born for.
RIP Rick Wright. Such an integral and important but too often under appreciated part of Pink Floyd's sound.
Great list! For me, the intro to 'the ghetto', live version by Donny Hathaway, is one of the best fender rhodes performances i have ever heard. I will also include Herbie hancock's ' i thought it was you'.
The dreamy Rhodes intro to Deniece Williams' 'Free' is sheer magic.
Facts
I'll second that.
Great track
That intro is so special!😀
You nailed all of these cover and I do agree with your Top 10 intros...Fender Rhodes magic....music would not be the same without it!
Great list! Steely Dan is SOOOOOOO underrated! Babylon Sister is fierce! I have loved that song since high school. The Doobies, Al, Stevie... You are on point. Thank you!
As a drummer, i feel there's no better sound in the world than a Rhodes
As another drummer, I could _not_ agree more.
As a drummer, I’d agree but I’d add an overdriven Hammond B3 with a Leslie.
And another drummer , my self totally agrees . Always loved this sound , not sure why , but it’s the best . 🙏🏼🥁🙏🏼
As a drummer I like beer
as a no drummer I think there's no better sound in the world than a vibraphone. But a Rhodes is very close...
Rhodes rules! I love the sound of the Rhodes. The best electric piano sound ever invented.
That's not saying much since that's a league with only three teams. Rhodes, Wurlitzer, and Yamaha Electric Grand.
Great job. I like the playing.
First that came to mind:
Eagles New Kid in Town
I Can't Tell You Why 😊
Definitely a great one, but Henley would have either sued or had the video demonetized.
Appreciate that you recognized, Just The Way You Are , " Sunshine Of My Life" , and , " Minute By Minute " Good one !

WOW You NAILED Babylon Sisters, I know every note, and so do you... I feel almost tearful that it's number one, we are soul brothers.
I agree, the best of the bunch...
I just felt the same way
...albeit a bit slow
Great playing sir
One of my favorite instrument sounds ever. No mistaking the sound of a Fender Rhodes
Missing Sergio Mendes - Never gonna let you go
Such an interesting song with beautiful transitions and a lot of key changes
Oh yes, that one as well, I agree! (Mine would've been "After All" from the "Jarreau" album)
Fantastic tune. Robbie Buchanan on rhodes.
my pick for #1
Great vid! My favorite: Donald Fagen's "New Frontier"
And “I.G.Y.” One the biggest hits from that album. Absolutely!
Love that song.
And outro!
Absolutely right, mind blowing intro, exciting pace & rhythm and original text. His albums ‘Gaucho’ and ‘The Nightfly’ are two timeless musical masterpieces that I still enjoy playing as if I hear them for the first time (and yes…on a record!) being born in ‘62.😉

Yes #8! Anything by Richard Tee.
Great video. Babe by Styx would've been a nice add.
Or Borrowed Time.
You bet
Was waiting for Styx as well and and Al Jarreau's Mornin'
I bought a Rhodes 73 Suitcase in the 80's because of "Babe"
Babe
“Are You All The Things” by Bill Evans and Eddie Gomez on Intuition album was my introduction to the Rhodes, and it’s still one my favorite songs.
I listened to Babylon Sisters on earphones going into work one day and I slipped into some kind of trance. It was a very pleasant experience, as if I was meditating and suddenly found myself in some kind of Nirvana...!
Dave Grusin's "The Colorado Trail" Intro from the 1977 Album "Discovered Again" is also a beautiful Piece of Music with the Tremolo Rhodes Sound.
Anything by Steely Dan should automatically be #1
Don't think anyone comes close to Donald Fagen and Michael McDonald. They have to be kindred spirits!
Thanks for this video. My absolute favorite key instrument thumbs up
I never realized all these songs had this sound in common. I absolutely love the sound. Great to hear them played so beautifully, side by side. Great stuff!

100% agree with Babylon Sisters for #1. I learned it backwards and forwards back in my Berklee days and it was always my best party trick. 😉
I prefer "just the way you are" for me it sounds my emotional bells the best
Wow, great touch. These are such great tunes and you really nailed them each. One of them very much appreciated.
I have always loved the sound in the song Walking in Rhythm by The Blackbyrds also Barbra Streisands What Kind of Fool and Jefferson Starships With Your Love.
“James”Billy Joel? Anybody?
Yes! Thank you!
Great song!
Pink Floyd's Sheep
Great video! So many great artists that have played a Rhodes, some that are among my favorites are Eumir Deodato, Bob James, and even Antonio Carlos Jobim!
Reminds me so much of growing up in the late '70s and listening to AM radio. Great video.
What? No "Babe," by Styx?
